Abstract: A mobile device receives wireless network information from a MIIS (Media Independent Information Server), and builds its own database of existing networks with their associated characteristics, appropriately mapped with GPS  (Global Positioning Satellite) coordinates or other appropriate form of geographical location identifying information. Consequently, the mobile device becomes "smart" over time through the learning process of first attempting to utilize its own developed database and, only if such database information falls short, making a remote query to a MIIS to get required information for session continuity and performing handovers. The mobile device may store the information received from the MIIS in its own local database together with a time-stamp. Each time the mobile device needs to get updated or new information, it sends a request to the MIIS along with the time-stamp appended to the request. In this way, the mobile device is sent only the information that it does not already have stored in its database

Abstract: A cable hanger for use in a cable-guided fishing operation is disclosed. The disclosed invention provides a cable hanger in which a specially-shaped hanger body is connected to a handle having a cable groove running through it. The cable groove allows for the centerline of a cable to run through the centerline of the handle, thereby allowing for a straight-line pull to be exerted on the cable through the cable hanger. The specially-shaped hanger body is operatively connected to a specially-shaped body cover by a plurality of links. In this way, the hanger body and cover form a "clamshell"  arrangement in which the cover can rotate from an open position to a closed position around the cable. When in the closed position, the cover and body are bolted together along the side of the cover and body opposite the links.

Abstract: A ribbed seal for use in endoscopic surgery is intended to be incorporated into a cannula assembly to limit the escape of insufflation gasses from a body cavity by forming a fluid-tight seal around an instrument inserted through the cannula assembly.  The ribbed seal includes a relatively flat, disk shaped elastomeric overmold portion having a central aperture sized slightly smaller than the instrument such that the aperture must expand to accommodate the instrument. Molded together with the elastomeric overmold is an array of slender ribs disposed about the aperture. The ribs are designed to be relatively flexible under lateral loads. This allows the seal to bend easily as the surgical instrument is inserted through the aperture thereby maintaining a low insertion and glide force. On the other hand, the ribs are designed to be relatively rigid when loaded axially. This rigidity provides robust radial support for the instrument inserted through the center of the array of ribs. The seal performs a centering function for the instrument due to its combined elasticity and stiffness. Finally, the seal also allows for an instrument to be removed easily while maintaining the required atmospheric integrity.
